Best dermo there is in NYC. I have been going to her since I was 18 and am now 23 and she is helping me a lot with my acne. She is extremely skilled at acne surgery and is very knowledgeable about this skin condition. She is also very easy to talk to and spends LOTS of time with you, unlike the majority of dermatologists. I am very fortunate to be able to still go to her seeing that she is pediatric dermo but she said she will continue to treat me as long as I need too.

My teenage son and I are very impressed and pleased with Dr. B. after the first visit. She explained things very clearly to my son and provided easy-to-follow written instructions and topical treatment to address his acne.

I love Dr.Bershad. All of my daughters are patients of her's. She helped one of my girls tremendously with her severe eczema, and she helped my oldest daughter with her acne. Dr. Bershad also helped my youngest with a rash that she had on her face. She's an excellent doctor and a friendly, caring person. I highly recommend her.

This was my son's follow up appointment with Dr. Bershad. Both times, we waited more than forty minutes. She was somewhat thorough with her examination the first time, but not this time around. I’m not too sure whether I would take my son back to her next time.
